Side Dish Only Thanksgiving

Could you do a without a turkey on Thanksgiving?  I read a family's story of their side-dish-only Thanksgiving and I was intrigued.  Honestly, while I do enjoy a good turkey on T-Day, it is definitely not my favorite thing on the menu.  I don't know if I could ever convince my family to jump on this bandwagon, but I thought it was an interesting concept.  Cheers to more mashed potatoes, cranberries, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and beyond!  Oh, and don't forget a few heaping helpings of apple pie…

Would you do a side-dish only Thanksgiving?  Do tell...

30 Years

 Today is my parents 30th wedding anniversary!  30 years of marriage, isn't that amazing?  I'm very proud of them, to me this is an admirable milestone.  I am so grateful for all that they've taught me, and I want to recognize and share their lasting, loving union, and celebrate their commitment to each other.

Congratulations Mom & Dad, we love you!

Beautiful Wedding

I know these wedding photos have already been circling the blog scene, but they're simply too lovely to pass by. I love the casual elegance of Sarah and Adam's wedding, the ethereal dress, strings of pearls, bright roses and candid smiles. What a beautiful wedding!images/oncewed

Congrats Erin

Congrats to my good friend Erin who just got engaged! Erin and her man have been dating since college, and have been the go-to couple for our group of friends on how to make a long-distance relationship thrive!

He proposed by in the sweetest way, by giving her a brand new black lab puppy...After playing with the puppy, she noticed an engagement ring on her collar! Too cute! Congrats E, can't wait for the wedding!

Lovely Glow

Lovely little lanterns. If I had a deck or a patio, I would invest in a few odd sized lanterns such as these, to illuminate a warm, summer evening. These Restoration Hardware lanterns are unique in that they hold pillar candles, so you truly get that warm glow from your centerpiece.
